No. No to this entire thread.

My driver seat frame was bent from the factory. Like, it fell off the assembly line and was run over by something. My dealer had never seen anything like it before. Bring er in!

The real crime

Oh boy. He’s back.

Excuse me?

A quality air/oil separator has coolant flowing through the housing so this doesn’t happen.

A less restrictive exhaust may yield more power/torque at WOT, but can be less efficient when not wide open. https://www.carthrottle.com/post/wg3b6r9

Seems relevant

In the 2.3 section, nice!

Good point, I’m used to the old MAF systems

Nothing is going to eliminate the sound you are hearing, other than putting the stock intake back on. A VTA valve may make it worse, as you’re getting rid of metered air and temporarily richening the mixture. By how much? Probably not a lot, but it’s not beneficial. A VTA valve may be loud...

I’m hearing an after fire/backfire pop in that video as well, which is what I think the OP is wondering about. The 2.3 loves to pop and burble and as others have said, the factory intake is designed to muffle any noises from the turbo/engine. I deem it normal.

Neat Camaro collection

It would roll away while in “park”. They’d figure it out 😂 As far as I know, autos don’t actually go in to “park” while at speed. That would be silly. The shifter will go in to “park”, but the pawl isn’t going to engage.

Which engine?
